An expanding sector
A 2023 report by the Boston Consulting group noted that quantum computing could provide up to $10bn in benefits worldwide within five years, with this number skyrocketing to $850bn over the next 15-30 years. Similar numbers are provided for quantum sensing ($5bn by 2030) and communication ($13bn by 2030).
